6.10.1.2 Profile Names and Scoping
Profile Scoping is a concept that allows for error-free provisioning, since it ensures that for a Profile only certain devices can be
selected, or that for a device only certain Profiles can be selected. This concept is used extensively when provisioning iMGs,
and complete examples are shown in Section 7.
Every device in the network has a name that uniquely identifies that device. (Usually it is the IP address, but it can be a DNS
name.) When a profile is configured, the Profile Scoping field can have a value that identifies a subset of devices, usually be
using the wildcard (*) that is part of the name. For example, if Profile Scoping has the value 192.168.100.*, it includes all IP
address under the 192.168.100.xxx network.
By having this Profile Scoping value, provisioning is controlled as follows:
• Whenever a Profile is part of provisioning (such as Triple Play or deploying a Profile), only those devices that match the
Profile Scoping are available.
• Whenever a device is being provisioned to include profiles, only those Profiles that match the Profile Scoping are available.
• When a profile is being deployed, and the Profile included scoping, only those devices within that scope are available.
Naming conventions are as follows:
• Profile names - These can be up to 20 characters.
• Profile Scoping - The default value is None. Although expressions can be used, it is recommended that the wildcard (*)
always be used since that will always provide a subset.
